  3/15/2021 - ChateauShiny Does not like this wine: 86 Points

  Medium garnet in color. Strong nose of cola, raspberries, cherries, vanilla, and earth. Cherries, vanilla, pepper, and cola hit the palate. Off-dry in sweetness to me and is flabby. There is not much of a tannin structure. What is there is light and round. There is not enough acidity to balance out the sweetness. Long oaky vanilla, pepper, and cola finish.
  
  The nose was so on point, yet the sweetness killed the wine for me. In the end, my mouth was begging for either less residual sugar or more acidity to balance out the wine. If either was done, the complexity of this wine would have shined.
